Installation on VS instance breaks Dark Theme
Robert-Mattingly opened this issue · 4 comments
Installed on Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 7, where I was using the default dark theme. The installation immediately applied a light color scheme to the Text Editor only, and I cannot undo this. Additionally, as I can't uninstall the extension, I don't know if an uninstall will reset my colors.
To Reproduce:
Install Extension on VS2017 which is set to use default dark theme.
I managed to get my Text Editor colors reset by deleting by privateregistry.user.bin file. This is a possible workaround until I can uninstall.
Thanks for your feedback.
It's very strange behavior that installation applied a light theme to the Text Editor. I tested installation to both of themes at Windows 10/8.1 and it works as well, hovewer, I didn't test it at Windows 7.
Anyway, I will try to install it to the develop Windows 7 at this week and will try to investigate your problem from this issue and from #6 issue
Update:
I tried to install, disable, uninstall extension under standard user (non-admin) at Windows 7 and all works as well. Nothing doesn't break, extension doesn't applied immediatly Light theme to the Dark after installation. Extension doesn't color items when it's disabled. I tried to delete it and reinstall them, all works fine. By the way, I tested all of this cases also under admin user and all works as well.
As I pointed out I used develop Windows 7 and VS 2017 Community.
Unfortunately, I don't have ideas why it doesn't work for you. I can only suggest to check that registry doesn't corrupt, or suggest to reset VS environment as pointed out here. Do you are in a some domain network and maybe you have some limitations in there? Also, do you have some other extension that does do the similar in text editor?
This is a recurring problem that arises in consequence of the installation of different extensions, I override all colors in my extension) Lose theme settings from install new extensions randomly) It bugs in Visual Studio) And may try use Color Theme Editor for Save Theme setting, or Export Import all settings) Long-standing problems)
I tested on different machines and it works fine. Looks like the issue is specific to that environment. Thank you for looking into this, and sorry I didn't think to try that first.
